PLATE XXVIIL LADY NEWNES BAY. 



FIG. 1 (Map A). From a photograph by R. W. SKELTON (Sk. 60, |-plate), 

 Jan. 15, 1902; taken looking N.-E. to Cape Jones from the head of an 

 inlet in the piedmont of Lady Newnes Bay. 



FIG. 2. From a photograph taken by R. W. SKELTON (Sk. 62, - plate), Jan. 15, 

 1902; showing the edge of the land-ice which formed the western shore 

 of the inlet in the Lady Newnes piedmont-glacier. 



In Fig. 1 is shown a busy midnight scene. The ' Discovery ' tied up to the 

 fast sea-ice edge was at the same time supplied with ice for water, and with 

 seal carcases for food. Lady Newnes Bay is occupied by a piedmont-glacier, 

 and in an inlet of the glacier these two pictures were taken, as well as Fig. 2 of 

 Plate XXVII. 



That the ice-cliff of Fig. 2 is the face of grounded land -ice is indisputably 

 proved by the presence of the tide crack at its foot, shown well in this particular 

 photograph. Compare also Plates LXXXI., LXXXIL, and LXXXIII.
